Citizen CMP 25L Barcode Label Printer

Description

The Citizen CMP-25L is a portable barcode label printer designed for demanding tasks in challenging working environments. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Printing Technology:

• Thermal Printing: The CMP-25L utilizes thermal printing technology, offering two options depending on your needs:
  • Direct Thermal: This method uses heat-sensitive labels that darken when exposed to the printhead. It’s ideal for paper-based labels that don’t require extreme durability, such as shipping labels or on-the-go receipts.
  • Thermal Transfer (Optional): Some models might offer thermal transfer printing as an option. This method uses a ribbon with ink that melts and adheres to various label materials when heated by the printhead, creating more durable labels resistant to fading, moisture, and chemicals.

Print Performance:

• Resolution: 203 dpi (dots per inch) – This delivers good quality for most applications, producing clear text and readable barcodes.
• Print Speed: Up to 200 millimeters (7.9 inches) per second – This exceptional speed ensures efficient label printing for moderate to high-volume tasks in mobile settings.

Media Handling:

• Media Width: The CMP-25L can handle labels with widths ranging from 58 millimeters (2.3 inches) to 60 millimeters (2.36 inches), accommodating commonly used label sizes for various mobile applications.
• Media Thickness: It supports labels from 0.08 millimeters (0.003 inches) to 0.19 millimeters (0.007 inches) thick, offering flexibility for different label materials.
• Media Roll Size: The printer accepts rolls up to 83 millimeters (3.3 inches) in diameter with a core size of 25.4 millimeters (1 inch), suitable for its portable design while accommodating larger label capacities.

Design and Usability:

• Compact and Rugged: Despite its compact size, the CMP-25L boasts a robust build with a durable casing to withstand demanding mobile environments like warehouses, delivery routes, or construction sites.
• Drop-Tested: The printer is drop-tested to survive falls of up to 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) onto concrete, ensuring resilience in harsh conditions.
• Backlit LCD: The backlit LCD screen enhances visibility in various lighting conditions, allowing for easy operation and monitoring of print jobs while on the go.
• Quick Change Media Loading: The drop-in media loading design simplifies media changes, minimizing downtime during printing tasks.

Connectivity:

• Standard Interfaces: The CMP-25L comes equipped with standard interfaces like Bluetooth for wireless printing from smartphones, tablets, or mobile computers. This allows for versatile connectivity in mobile settings.
• Optional Interfaces: Wi-Fi connectivity might be available in some models, providing additional flexibility for network printing needs.

Additional Features:

• Long-Lasting Battery: The CMP-25L features a high-capacity Lithium Ion battery with a long lifespan (up to 48 hours of single-charge operation) for extended use in mobile printing scenarios.
• Integral Tear Bar: This built-in feature allows for easy and clean separation of printed labels, improving workflow efficiency.
• Dust & Water Resistant: The CMP-25L exceeds IP54 environmental rating, offering protection against dust, light water splashes, and oil or grease, making it suitable for various industrial environments.
